Looking to write for MSDN?

Someone recently asked me for our template, style guidelines and other details about writing for MSDN. I wanted to find the public page about this, so I dug around for what seemed like ages and couldn't find anything even though I knew this was up on MSDN somewhere.

Eventually, I resorted to search and tracked it down at msdn.microsoft.com/aboutmsdn/submit.asp. Since it was so hard for me to find, I thought I should bubble it up to the front page of VB and C#, in case anyone else is looking for it :)

Update: Stephen Toub from MSDN Magazine just sent me the corresponding link for submissions to their publication... msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/submit.aspx

Another Update: For some reason, this posts gets a lot of comments from people looking for a free download of MSDN. That is not what this post is about, it is about writing articles for MSDN. Go ahead and ask for a free copy of MSDN, I'm just going to ignore it.... that isn't something I can provide.

  Duncan Mackenzie dug up inspiration in the form of guidelines for submitting articles for the Microsoft Developer Network and for MSDN Magazine. I think most developers fancy the idea of getting published in some way and I’m no different. I’d be thrilled if I was able to meet the challenge once my current work project winds down. I have so many ideas it’s hard to decide where to focus....

  Hi,
  
  This may not be related to Visual Basic, but I need some help. I have a lot of digital pictures in jpg format, and one day they are all converted to VBscript files. I don't have VB program, and I don't know how this happened. If you know how to convert back to jpg so that I can take a look at the pictures, please e-mail me the instruction. My e-mail address is mdk90274@yahoo.com. I thanks you for reading this and appreciate your help.
  
  Thansks,
  
  Mike

  Do you have a free MSDN for Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise? It would be useful to have one. In PDF format for free download is a good start. Maybe a complete MSDN book free e - book for download.
